Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
Listening Post | 17 May 2014 14:07 GMT | Media, Business & Economy, Greece
In this week's feature, the Listening Post examines the Greek media landscape. Just a few years ago, Greece had a burgeoning media sphere. This is no longer the case. Since 2011, when the country's economic crisis began, the media sector has witnessed carnage: More than 4,000 journalists have lost their jobs, and many more have taken significant pay cuts.
One of those journalists, Aris Chatzistefanou, was fired for what management called economic reasons, but he claims it was because he refused to toe the editorial line on the media's pro-austerity narrative. The Listening Post's Marcela Pizarro sat down with Chatzistefanou in London to get the story behind the coverage of the austerity push, the Greek media's own financial crisis and the cumulative effect on freedom of expression in the birthplace of democracy.

Pistoletto was interested in broadening the material language of Arte Povera, and in creating complex juxtapositions of modern and historical images and ideas. Venus of the Rags appears to bring together an iconic figure of classical culture with the detritus of contemporary society as the solid Roman goddess props up a randomly formed pile of gaudily coloured second-hand clothes. In fact the figure is based on a kitsch statue found in a garden centre rather than a genuine antiquity.

Jewish settlers occupy Palestinian homes in Old City's shadow
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli police guarded Jewish settlers as they moved into seven homes in a Palestinian neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday while stunned and angry Palestinians looked on, aware that there was little they could do.
The homes in Silwan, which sits in the shadow of Jerusalem's Old City, were purchased by Elad, a pro-settlement group that uses funds from Jewish supporters in the United States and elsewhere to buy properties in Palestinian districts.
Insight – After Mahmoud Abbas, who will lead the Palestinians?
JERUSALEM/RAMALLAH West Bank (Reuters) – Most Palestinians have known only two leaders: Yasser Arafat, the stubble-chinned firebrand fond of chequered scarves and olive fatigues, and Mahmoud Abbas, a smooth-shaven father figure who favours Western suits and ties.
Arafat died in Paris in 2004, having led the Palestine Liberation Organization since 1969, and Abbas has been in the driving seat since, trying to forge a still-elusive peace deal with Israel.
After Mahmoud Abbas, who will lead the Palestinians?
JERUSALEM/RAMALLAH West Bank (Reuters) – Most Palestinians have known only two leaders: Yasser Arafat, the stubble-chinned firebrand fond of chequered scarves and olive fatigues, and Mahmoud Abbas, a smooth-shaven father figure who favors Western suits and ties.
Arafat died in Paris in 2004, having led the Palestine Liberation Organization since 1969, and Abbas has been in the driving seat since, trying to forge a still-elusive peace deal with Israel.
Dry West Bank ridge becomes focus of Israel-Palestinian tension
A West Bank (Reuters) – The rocky valley north of Jab'a, scattered with olive and pine trees and dry streams long evaporated by the searing heat, would be unremarkable had it not become the latest point of friction between Israel and the Palestinians.
Days after a ceasefire was reached in the war in Gaza last month, Israel announced that 400 hectares (988 acres) west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, was now "state land" – that is territory for Israel, not land that will be part of any future Palestinian state.
Palestinian salaries dispute puts Gaza peace at risk
GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Tensions between Fatah and Hamas, the two main Palestinian parties, are close to breaking point over the non-payment of salaries to Gaza's public sector workers, raising the risk of a return to conflict in the territory, officials say.
The ceasefire struck last month to end Israel's war with Hamas included stipulations that the Palestinian Authority, led by President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, should take over civil administration in Gaza from Hamas, an Islamist movement.
Israel shows evidence of rocket fire from Gaza schools
TEL AVIV (Reuters) – The Israeli military has provided its most detailed assessment yet of the conduct and impact of the Gaza war, including photographs indicating that militants stored and fired rockets from schools and a breakdown of the toll inflicted on Hamas.
In a briefing at its headquarters in Tel Aviv, the Israel Defense Forces presented a minute picture of the structure and capability of Hamas and other militant groups operating in Gaza, an effort to explain the severity of the threat Israel faced and justify Israel's heavy tank shelling and air strikes during the 50-day conflict — tactics that drew international criticism.
Israel raises alarm over Islamist militants on its frontiers
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel's frontier with Syria, where militants have kidnapped 45 U.N. peacekeepers, has become a magnet for Islamist activity and Israel itself is now a target, the defense minister and security analysts said on Tuesday.
The Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-linked group fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has established a major presence in the region, analysts said, and is poised to carry out attacks across the barren borderlands where Syria, Israel and Jordan converge.
U.N. tries to locate Fijian peacekeepers seized on Golan Heights
QUNEITRA Golan Heights (Reuters) – U.N. officials shuttled along the rocky frontier between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Friday, trying to establish the whereabouts of 43 United Nations peacekeepers seized by al-Qaeda-linked militants inside Syria.
Israeli forces took up positions at Quneitra, a fortified crossing between Syria and the Golan, barely 400 meters from Nusra Front militants, who attacked a U.N. base on the Syrian side of the border on Wednesday and seized the 43 Fijians.
What's in the Gaza peace deal?
GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel and the Palestinians agreed on Tuesday to an Egyptian-brokered plan to end the fighting in Gaza after 50 days of combat in which more than 2,100 Palestinians, most of them civilians, 64 Israeli soldiers and five civilians in Israel were killed.
Following are the broad parameters of the agreement, which Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have been working on through indirect talks in Cairo over recent weeks.
Diffuse Hamas structure complicates Gaza peace efforts
JERUSALEM/GAZA (Reuters) – Founded by just seven people in Gaza, Hamas now has political and military leaders spread across the Arab world, complicating its ability to send a unified message for negotiating an end to a seven-week war with Israel.
In less than 30 years, what was a grassroots Islamic group has expanded well beyond the confines of Gaza, a narrow coastal enclave hemmed in by Israel and Egypt.

Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour with Optional Upgrades
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour with Optional Upgrades. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The tour was so worth the long day on a bus. It was a beautiful sunny day and the driver was very friendly with everyone. Highly recommend the South Rim tour, it is the most scenic.
Amazing scenery after a long bus ride. 15 hour day.Well worth the trip to get there.
Driver excellent. Plenty of knowledge shared and a great personality. Imax was worth the extra cost, all part of the experience.
Only negative was the bus company did not pick us up at the hotel as booked, however they sent a shuttle when we rang them.
Good bus tour with additional photo stop at Hoover dam! Helicopter option was awesome - once in a lifetime experience!
Upon arrival in Las Vegas, I've booked this tour quite spontaniously and it was a great decision to do so! The drive is very long, I won't lie about it, but the view of the Grand Canyon is so worth it. Nice driver, very well structured tour, comfortable coach - you'll get all you need.
We did the west Grand Canyon tour. Thomas, our driver on June 1st, was great!
This tour was amazing!
Great tour, really enjoyed it. Bus driver was excellent. Only downside was a ery long day - 0615 start and 2200 hrs. finish. Difficult to see how to improve this other than eliminate the Imax film for everyone.
Even though we had bad weather where we could not see much due to cloud cover and rain, our bus driver, Ryan was outstanding. He provided movies to make the trip not seem so long as well as was very informative as to the history of the area and little tidbits that made it even more interesting. He was very professional throughout the tour, as well as an excellent driver. If we come to Las Vegas next year, would book again with this company, as the organization and personal attention was excellent. Jenny and Bernd, Germany
Our driver was knowledgeable about so many things along our journey because he had a passion for learning about the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, and the areas around and between them. He went off the beaten trail to show us amazing views and managed our time exceptionally well, all day. I highly recommend this tour! As for add-ons, I can't speak to the jeep or helicopter, but can say from experience that the IMAX movie is not worth your time or the 15 ticket.
Great tour long ride but well worth it . Get the jeep tour the way to go our guide James the best
I had booked the south rim tour at first. The local operator was really nice and offered a switch from the south rim to the west rim. The west tour is shorter than the south rim tour and is just enough to
It was great! We got to stop by the Hoover Dam, got free lunch at the National Geographic Center, and had enough time to walk around the Grand Canyon. The trip is long but there are a couple stops to have a quick break. Plus, we watched movies on the bus. Our drive Ryan was also very nice!
A long day but well worth it. Our driver Michael was entertaining and very knowledgeable. We upgraded to the jeep tour for the canyon and throughly enjoyed our day.
Absolutely amazing and breathtaking experience. Plan for a long day as our pickup time was 605am at our casino in Vegas and we were dropped off at our casino again roughly around 11pm
This tour was amazing!
Tour was excellent! Our driver Ryan was very knowledgeable and his instructions were very clear. We arrived back to our hotel an hour early. I highly recommend this tour
We took the jeep tour and found it very informative and interesting. The Canyons are awesome. The trip to the Grand Canyon is a bit daunting because it takes a long ride to get there. We toured the south rim.
Tour was really great.
Enjoyed the jeep tour immensely with our tour guide Werner who was truly amazing.
Grand Canyon was awesome! Really worth the drive.
The bus driver Thomas was hilarious. He made the long drive ,not feel so long. Thomas was very informative and the views are amazing. Also I would suggest to include the upgrades.
Excellent we enjoy a lot every thing was perfectly arranged,enough time to spend
Each spot,bus driver is very nice and careful taking care of everything nicely.
Best view in the helicopter!! Amazing!!
An amazing experience. Enjoyed the day and would recommend it as a must for travellers.
This was my first trip to the canyon. I enjoyed my entire trip. Our driver was entertaining, and knowledgeable. The stops were well timed, the bus was comfortable and the drive was very relaxing. It was a long day which seem to go by super fast, as this trip is jammed packed with sights. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to get off the Vegas strip and visit this beautiful part of the world. Thank you for a great experience!!
Simply great!!!

The Ghost of Frankenstein Perhaps the last creation of the classic horror film era, The Ghost of Frankenstein delights fans with its sly humor and deliciously mischievous portrayals - Lon Chaney, Jr. as the monster, Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the twisted son of Dr. Frankenstein, and Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein's dutiful assistant, Ygor. Frankenstein's unscrupulous colleague, Dr. Bohmer (Lionel Atwill), plots to transplant Ygor's brain so he can rule the world using the monster's body, but the plan goes sour when the monster turns malevolent and goes on a rampage. Son of Frankenstein Praised by critics as one of the best of the Frankenstein series, Son of Frankenstein stars Boris Karloff in the role that made him a screen legend. Returning to the ancestral castle 25 years after the death of the monsters, the son of Dr. Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) meets Ygor (Bela Lugosi), a mad shepherd who is hiding the comatose creature. Hoping to clear the family name, he revives the creature and tries to rehabilitate him. His noble goals are dashed when Ygor sends the creature on a killing spree that spreads new panic in the village.
Son of Frankenstein Basil Rathbone comes to Transylvania to inherit his father's estate in this second sequel to Frankenstein. The townspeople are suspicious, but young Frankenstein has no interest in reviving his father's work--until he discovers the monster hidden away in the castle, inert but very much intact and watched over by Ygor (Bela Lugosi), a sinister, snaggletoothed peasant with a broken neck. Convinced to revive the creature and vindicate his father's name, Frankenstein toils away in the lab not realizing that Ygor plans to use the monster to revenge himself on the jury that sentenced him to hang. Boris Karloff makes his final appearance as the Monster, now little more than a mute, lumbering robot under the hypnotic control of Ygor. Rathbone is a dignified, suave scientist and a marvelous match to Lugosi's mad Ygor, a richly malevolent performance that dominates the film. Lionel Atwill makes a marvelous addition to the Frankenstein gallery as the wooden-armed constable, a legacy of the monster's rampage 25 years before. (Mel Brooks's loving lampoon Young Frankenstein, a veritable remake of this film, features the constable and his lumber limb in a major role.) Universal abandoned horror films in 1936, but the success of this sequel single-handedly revived the genre. Though lacking the gothic splendor and macabre humor of James Whale's originals, Rowland V. Lee's handsome production remains an intelligent, well-made classic of the genre and Universal's last great horror film. Lugosi returns as Ygor in The Ghost of Frankenstein.
The Ghost of Frankenstein The monster lives! Again! Picking up where Son of Frankenstein left off, Bela Lugosi's gnarled Ygor survives yet another rampage by angry, torch-carrying villagers and frees the monster (The Wolf Man himself, Lon Chaney Jr., taking over from Boris Karloff) from his sulfur grave. The latest cinematic Frankenstein scion, brain surgeon Ludwig (Cedric Hardwicke), wants to dissect the creature, but the ghost of his father convinces him to save it by giving it a new, "good" brain. Ygor has his own devious plan and enlists Ludwig's shady assistant (Lionel Atwill) in a brain-switching scheme.
Ably directed by the pedestrian Erle C. Kenton, The Ghost of Frankenstein gives up the gothic mood and moral quandaries of the original films for the busy, action-packed plots that defined Universal horror films of the 1940s. The human characters are all rather dull (except for Lugosi's animated, eye-rolling performance), and Chaney has none of Karloff's pathos or subtlety under the make-up, but the film opens with a spectacular bang as the villagers dynamite the castle, and skips from one inspired scene to another. The monster rejuvenates himself during an electrical storm with a jolt of lightning, mutely undergoes a courtroom cross-examination (by a ridiculously intent Ralph Bellamy), and finally goes on a blind rampage in the fiery climax. Frankenstein's monster returns (this time with Lugosi as the creature) in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. --Sean AxmakerSee all Editorial Reviews

AFRICA/KENYA - "Elections should not divide us anymore," said Archbishop Okoth
Nairobi (Agenzia Fides) - "The entire leadership of the Catholic Church shall remain non-partisan in the forthcoming general elections because as a church we are interested in the unity of all Kenyans." Said Archbishop Zacchaeus Okoth, Archbishop of Kisumu and President of the Episcopal Commission 'Justice and Peace', in launching the Lenten campaign: "United and peaceful Kenya-The change I want to see", less than a month away from the parliamentary and presidential elections.
According to reports from the CISA Agency in Nairobi, Archbishop Okoth, has appealed to politicians to impress upon Kenyans the need for peaceful elections. The appeal is made necessary by the post-election violence that erupted in late December 2007 and lasted several months that led to the deaths of thousands of people. "Let Kenya not bleed. Kenya is bigger than any individual. We should seek a united and peaceful Kenya. Elections should not divide " said the Archbishop.
"To achieve this goal of unity, as Kenyans we have to accept, appreciate and respect the social, cultural and religious differences of individuals, group and peoples," concluded Archbishop Okoth. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 15/02/2013)

Join Big Butts Like It Big
Update Notes
Updated on: 04/24/2015
Since we last visited BigButtsLikeItBig...
- Updating is still inconsistent, but there are almost 30 more scenes and they continue to provide Full HD playback. They even added a few more bonus sites.
Big Butts Like It Big claims to be the "best big butt site." Being a true lover of the female ass myself, such a claim obviously intrigues and entices me. For all you other babe-butt connoisseurs out there let me tell you if it's worth it or not. The short answer is: "Absolutely!"
There are 203 videos and 203 photo sets on BigButtsLikeItBig at the moment and it looks like hot new scenes are still being added to the site, but at the moment you'll have to wait about 1-4 weeks for it.
Each scene comes with plenty of viewing options. You'll find a trailer, vid caps and short clips, not to mention a set of great-looking photos and a full-length movie. You can stream the movies in an embedded player and download them in Windows Media and MP4 files.
The videos vary in quality, but most come in Full HD at this point. The very oldest ones aren't always as impressive, but they're still good. As for the pics, they don't display all that large on the site, but if you take the time to download them in Zip files you'll get high-res images.
The scenes are all a lot of fun and there's a lot of good stuff here in terms of action. It also doesn't hurt that both the girls and their asses are gorgeous. Each scene features at least one babe with a big, beautiful round booty. Also, they don't just show off their rears - they get reamed hard and deep too!
When you first arrive on the site, you'll find yourself inside the Brazzers Network and you're free to enjoy everything it offers. For those of you unfamiliar with it, let me tell you that the quality is high throughout the majority of its sites, the girls are always stunning and new scenes are always being added.
Also worth noting is that the models often have big tits and asses. Take a look at the sites Big Tits At Work, Hot And Mean, Real Wife Stories and Pornstars Like It Big and you'll see what I mean.
Big Butts Like It Big is a great site and if I had anything negative to say it would be that it doesn't update all that often. Still, with a pretty good amount of high-quality scenes, this site is definitely worth your time and money.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Categories and Prevalence
Our review of the history of thinking about children's handicaps has shown that, by the end of the 19th century, the broad categories of handicapping conditions had been defined. In the 20th century, thinking about classification became more formal and refined so that several classification systems have emerged. This chapter describes the main types of handicap in children and provides rough estimates of the prevalence of the various conditions.
At least as important, the chapter reviews ways in which classification systems are constructed and their uses. It concludes that current classification of handicapping conditions are more complex and confusing than one might expect at first. Moreover, current behavioral classification systems seem to be useful mainly for general assignment to treatment programs rather than for detailed planning of treatment or for analysis of causes. Some reasons for the limitations in current classification systems are reviewed in this chapter and also the next one.
Classification begins with the description of individuals. Each child has a unique pattern of physical and behavioral characteristics that can be described, and this description can be used for planning that child's treatment and education. However, this description must be done in terms of categories or dimensions that can be applied to more than one child. For instance, age, height, intelligence quotient, presence or absence of abnormal movements, degree of visual impairment, activity level, aggression, and ability to use community transportation are only a few of the almost infinite number of ways in which a child can be described.

Daily Shot With Ali Wentworth
Do you have a hard time making decisions when it's time for a seasonal closet purge? The Today Show's Bobbie Thomas has an easy trick to help you pick what stays and what goes. Also, the shapewear she swears by, "Skinny Britches," is one of three items that make the clothes you don't purge look better and last longer. The rest are in today's episode!
A look back at the greatest moments from this season of "Daily Shot," and a final scene you won't believe.
In this "lost episode" of "Daily Shot," Ali interviews her husband. Things get uncomfortable. Many months ago George Stephanopoulos came into the "Daily Shot" studio for an interview. So why hasn't it aired? While George is famous for asking hard-hitting questions on "Good Morning America," we discovered he doesn't like being on the other side of the interview table, especially when Ali is the one asking the questions. The "GMA" host did his best to be a good sport, but it's clear he wasn't altogether comfortable with his wife's "less formal" interview style or "loose interpretation of facts." That said, if you want to find out how often Ali embarrasses George or see how George rates himself against fellow handsome Greek John Stamos, check out this ... the penultimate episode of "Daily Shot"!
Top Tupperware salesperson Aunt Barbara helps Ali say goodbye with a tribute to the best past canceled shows.
On the new season of "Inside Amy Schumer" on Comedy Central, viewers can look forward to celebrity guests like Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" and "The Hangover Part II," Zach Braff of "Scrubs," Rachel Dratch of "30 Rock," and Parker Posey, among others. But the show's success doesn't mean it's easier the second time around for host and star Amy Schumer. "They gave us less money, so I'm also playing the extras," Amy jokes. Did she hook up with any of the famous guest stars who appear in Season 2? Nope. "I've never hooked up with anyone who could help my career," she says. "I've been sleeping my way down." Amy was quick to dismiss Ali's jealously over her TV success and upcoming movie, "Train Wreck," directed by Judd Apatow. "I'm lonely, and I don't have any time to enjoy my life," she said. To watch Amy play a hilarious round of "Which Is Worse?" with Ali, check out this episode of "Daily Shot."

This application is for entry into the U.S. national phase under �371 for International Application No. PCT/EP01/07340 having an international filing date of Jun. 27, 2001, and from which priority is claimed under all applicable sections of Title 35 of the United States Code including, but not limited to, Sections 120, 363 and 365(c).
The present invention relates to a method of transmitting user data from a mobile device to a wireless communication system using adaptive transmission parameters in order to enhance the total data rate of the uplink transmission. The present invention also relates to a mobile device using the method of enhanced uplink transmission. More specifically the invention relates to a method for using adaptive modulation and coding for a random access channel transmission uplink procedure in a code division multiple access device.
The benefit of adapting the transmission parameters in a wireless system to the changing channel conditions is well known. In fact, fast power control is an example of a technique implemented to enable reliable communications while simultaneously improving system capacity. The process of modifying the transmission parameters to compensate for the variations in channel conditions is known as link adaptation. An implicit link adaptation technique is hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ). There are many schemes for implementing H-ARQ, standardized as H-ARQ, H-AQR type II H-ARQ type III and subtypes used for retransmitting erroneous data wherein re ion is adapted to the transmission conditions depending on the ARQ scheme used for retransmitting. Another technique related to the category of link adaptation is explicit adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) which requires explicit transmission condition m measurements or similar measurements to select the fitting transmission parameters. Link adaptation is also achievable using adaptive selection of antenna which is for example implemented as multiple input multiple output antenna processing.
Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) is part of the techniques behind the concept of high-speed downlink packet access and is one of the main features introduced by code division multiple access communication services.
The main benefits of AMC are higher data rates which are available for users in favorable positions which in turn increases the average throughput of the cell and reduces interference variations due to link adaptation based on variations in the modulation and/or coding scheme instead of variations in transmission of power. Up to now, AMC is only applied in downlink shared channel (DSCH) to enhance transmission data rates.
Since large data amounts are not only transmitted from a base station to a mobile device designated as downlink transmission but also from a mobile device to a base station designated as uplink transmission it is necessary to apply adaptive transmission parameters to the mobile device. User data are transmitted from the mobile device to the base station using random access channel (RACH) including fixed modulation. Up to now there is no transmission method or procedure known, respectively, to enhance data rate provided by the RACH for users in favorable positions.
The usage of adaptive transmission parameters requires the measurement of the current transmission conditions. Therefore, the measurement has to be performed in a way which ensures obtaining transmission condition data reflecting the conditions during transmission enhanced by the usage of adaptive transmission parameters.
Transmission optimization methods are known in the field of mobile communications. For example WO 98/18280 discloses a mobile communications system which allows for significantly reducing a period of time which is required for establishing a random access mobile-originated call. During establishing a mobile station transmits a random access frame that includes a preamble and a plurality of fields. An initial random access frame is transmitted in a first slot with an initial power level and subsequent random access frames are transmitted in following slots with a power level being of the initial power level increased stepwise by a power level offset. The random access frames are transmitted until the mobile station receives an acknowledgement from the base station. The acknowledgement schedules the mobile-initiated call.
Moreover, U.S. Pat. No. 6,181,686 discloses a method which relates to the optimization of data transfer modes for transmissions in cellular telecommunication systems. The optimization is based on a controlling of the data transfer rate by the means a downlink quality measurement (performed by the mobile station) and an uplink quality measurement (performed by the base station). The quality measurements are performed during data transmission and in case the quality measurements over- or underflow one or more pre-defined threshold value(s) a decision to change the currently employed data transfer mode is provoked. In case of a decision to change a handshake message procedure takes place to instruct the new data transfer mode selected. A number time slots used for data transmission is adapted such that in conjunction with the new data transfer mode having a different data transfer rate substantially constant overall data transmission rate is obtained.
The object of the present invention is to enhance the total data rate in random access channel uplink transmissions by extending the procedure of a random access channel user data uplink transmission.
The known procedure of a random access channel user data uplink transmission is extended to employ transmission parameters for the transmission of the random access channel message part. Therefore, the procedure has to implement a method to determine the transmission conditions just before the random access channel message part is transmitted.
According to this aspect of the present invention the random access channel procedure is performed as follows: the mobile device randomly selects one of the RACH sub-channels from the group its access class allows it to use and the signature is also selected randomly from among the available signatures, the downlink power level is measured and the initial RACH power level is set with proper margin due to open loop inaccuracy, a RACH preamble (e.g. a 1 ms RACH preamble) is sent including the selected signature, the mobile device decodes acquisition indicator channel (AICH) to determine whether or not the base station has detected the preamble and in case no acquisition indicator (AI) is detected on the AICH the mobile device increases the preamble transmission power by a power ramp step given by the base station (BS), e.g. a multiple of 1 dB, and the preamble is retransmitted in the next available access slot.
The method of the present invention is characterized by the following additional steps. In case an AI transmission is detected on the AICH from the base station, the mobile device transmits a RACH message preamble including transmission conditions related data to enable the use of adaptive transmission parameters for the RACH message part. The RACH message preamble is decoded by the base station and allows the base station to estimate the transmission conditions based on the message preamble. In combination with the current network load and the estimated transmission conditions, the base station is able to determine suitable adaptive transmission parameters allowed for the mobile device. This adaptive transmission parameter setting is transmitted as an indication message to the mobile device via the AICH. The indication message is received by the mobile device and decoded. The mobile device is now able to transmit the RACH message part using the transmitted adaptive transmission parameter setting to increase the total transmission rate.
Preferably, the RACH message preamble includes the data necessary for the transmission parameter setting. Conveniently, the RACH message preamble includes a number for indicating how many transmissions of the RACH preamble are transmitted to the base station before an AI is detected on the AICH. Additionally, the RACH message preamble includes a power ramp step used for transmitting the RACH preambles before the AI is detected on the AICH.
Besides the above described transmission condition data, additional information like antenna system information, speed information of the mobile device and so on are possible. The conditions data which have to be transmitted by mobile device to the base station to estimate the transmission conditions and to determine according adaptive transmission parameters result from the method or procedure of the estimation and determination process.
The way of coding the transmission related data is not limited. The realization of the RACH message preamble can be done in several ways. A certain realization is explained below, wherein the transmission condition related data are coded in a common vector and spread with a RACH preamble signature. This is one possible way. It is also possible to transmit the data in another way. The way of coding the condition related data has to meet the requirement to be decodable by the base station.
More preferably, the RACH message preamble includes the number of RACH preambles transmitted to the base station until an AI is detected on the AICH and the power ramp step used for transmitting the RACH preambles before the AI is detected on the AICH. A possible way to co-code these transmission condition data is modifying the known RACH preamble. The RACH preamble is a complex value sequence including a preamble signature. The preamble signature is chosen to include the transmission condition data and consists of 256 repetitions of a length 16 signature Ps(n), n=0 . . . 15, defined as followed:
The signature Ps(n) is chosen from the set of 16 Hadamard codes of length 16. The number of RACH preambles transmitted to the base station and the power level used for transmission are coded in a value vector B, defined as follows:
A certain number of sub-values bi are reserved for the coding of the number of RACH preamble transmissions, the remaining sub-values are reserved accordingly for the coding of the power level of the transmission. The value vector B is spread with the signature Csig,s(i). The resulting value shall be worded as new signature Csig,s(i). The base station knows Csig,s(i) from the transmission of the last preamble. Therefore, the value vector B can be decoded from the base station and the data regarding the number of RACH preamble transmissions of the mobile device and the power ramp step for transmission of the RACH preambles are available for determining the adaptive transmission parameter setting. All other necessary data like current network load are always available from and by the base station.
As an example, according to the maximal RACH preamble transmissions it is assumed to code a maximal number of 32 RACH preamble transmissions needing 5 bits to be reserved for coding and 3 bits to code the power ramp step. Overall 8 bits will be enough to code both values and the value vector B will be denoted as follows:
The representation (b7, b6, b5, b4, b3)=(0,0,0,0,0) means that the RACH preamble was transmitted once, the representation (b7, b6, b5, b4, b3)=(0,0,0,0,1) means that the RACH preamble was transmitted twice and so on. Accordingly, the representation of the transmission power level is performed in the same way. The 3 bits enable the representation of 8 different power ramp steps. If the necessity appears to code a larger number of transmissions or more different power ramp steps, the value vector B is easily expandable to serve the necessity according to the example above.
More preferably, the adaptive transmission parameters are parameters to enable the employment of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) for RACH uplink transmissions.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program for carrying out the method for adaptively setting transmission parameters for a random access channel transmission uplink procedure in a wireless communication system is provided, which comprises program code means for performing all of the steps of the preceding method description when said program is ran on a computer, a network device, a mobile terminal, or an application specific integrated circuit.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, a computer program product is provided comprising program code means stored on a computer readable medium for carrying out the method for adaptively setting transmission parameters of the preceding description when said program product is run on a computer, a network device, a mobile terminal, or an application specific integrated circuit.
According to yet another additional aspect of the present invention, a mobile electronic device is provided, which is adapted to perform a method as described in the foregoing description. The electronic device can be a computer, or a network device such as mobile terminal.
In the following, the invention will be described in detail by referring to the enclosed drawings in which:
The scheme is not limited to CDMA. It can be also used in other systems, like TDMA. In other systems, the value vector B can also be sent in a way without spreading. The contents of value vector B will not be limited to the number of transmission, power ramp step, etc. It can contain any transmission related information. Also here only adaptive modulation and coding for message part is mentioned. However, other adaptive transmission parameters for message part can also be used. The scheme keeps the merits of AMC, which means users in favorable positions e.g. users close to the cell site are typically assigned higher order modulation with higher code rates, while users in unfavorable positions e.g. users close to the cell boundary, are assigned lower order modulation with lower code rates. Furthermore, the scheme is an adaptive fast access scheme, it can use system margin as much as possible and as soon as possible, thus increase system throughput.

Recap: Phillies Top Cats, Nation USA Today Top Blog
Posted by Ian Riccaboni, Mon, March 19, 2012 07:17 PM Comments: 8
The Phils topped the Tigers today 4-3, ending with a 6.2 innings of dominant bullpen effort. The clock may have struck midnight for Phils' starter Scott Elarton who allowed 3 ER in 2.1 IP, including a HR to Brennan Boesch in the 3rd. But the resilient Phils clawed back, plating 4 in the fifth, including two on a Freddy Galvis triple. Lefties Raul Valdes, Joe Savery, Jake Diekman, and David Purcey were all sharp as their efforts turn toward being the second lefty out of the 'pen. The Phillies are in an enviable position of having a surplus of lefty bullpen firepower.
As exciting as the game was to watch today, the events leading up to the game were, for better or worse, more exciting. Pat wrote a piece on how Jim Thome's body may hold up after playing the field and then the flood gates opened. In short order, the Phillies released possible emergency starter/staff ace of the Iron Pigs Joel Pineiro, made it clear to the media that Chase Utley would not be ready for Opening Day and that Freddy Galvis is your 2012 Phillies Opening Day second baseman. The news did not phase Galvis, who went 1-3 with a 2-run triple, but it did get a lot of Phillies Nation talking. Head over to that thread for some great discussion; lot of unique takes on the situation.

This inn is in a farmland area and looks just like a steam boat. The grounds are beautiful including a duck pond with a fire pit next to it for evenings. The inn looks like you are on a steam boat inside and rooms were very nice
We had a horrible stay!
The smell in the room was the smell of a hospital. Discusting really!!!
Everything felt dirty. Breakfast - we waited 10 minutes to be sitted even though there were only 4 more tables sitted. We gave up..
Asked forcthings a few times till we got them.
Bad bad bad.
Dear Steamboat Passenger,
Thank you for sharing your comments regarding your recent stay with us aboard the Fulton Steamboat Inn. We aim to provide all of our guests with a memorable experience, and I apologize that we uncharacteristically fell short.
Room cleanliness is our top priority and our staff works diligently to uphold the standards set in place. We are...
We had a fantastic time during our 2 nights. This was about our 10th time there but we never had the king suite- which we really liked. It was only $109 a night trie AAA. Very reasonable for a themed hotel with indoor heated pool. The pool and jacuzzi are located indoor in an atrium surrounded by water, ducks and...
The concept is interesting, plant a steamboat replica in the middle of Pennsylvania farmland, but it works. A nice change from standard chain hotels, the rooms feel a bit Victorian with dark wood furniture and interesting light fixtures, but comfortable with modern beds, and very clean and well maintained. We had dinner onsite, it was very good and you have...
Dear Steamboat Passenger,
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay aboard Lancaster County's Most Unique Full Service Hotel! We truly appreciate your feedback, as it is through the remarks, and observations of our guests that we will continue to grow and provide exceptional service.
The Fulton Steamboat Inn is a Nautical and Victorian themed property...
We have stayed here before. Prior to this visit I would have given the Inn 5 stars, but over the past few years the price has increased to the point that it is no longer worth the price. Our breakfast was terrible on the first morning, they have begun to cut some corners with quality. I mentioned this but nothing...
Had I known this was so close to the Dutch Wonderland, I probably would have chosen another place. I try to take my mother out on vacation every year and decided to try this place, as it is unique. It was better suited for families, but nevertheless, we had a good night's sleep and a nice visit. The hotel does...
I wasn't very hopeful when my husband booked us a room at the Steamboat Inn. I thought it would be old and rundown and a little cheesy, but I'm up for anything. I figured it would just be another adventure. What a pleasant surprise! Very clean and, actually, very beautiful inside! We had a great time and will definitely return....
Sure, this is a cool and unique place to stay, but it is also a quality inn in a great area!
They DO take the whole steamboat thing to an extreme, which is VERY cool. I noticed a life boat, and other details that made the experience authentic.
Also, we LOVED the huge duck pond with gazebos outside! It was...
I can't say enough wonderful things to justify my experience staying at the Steamboat Inn!! It was clean, spotless, everyone I met on staff was kind, helpful, courteous and prompt with requests. The room was stunning and very roomy, the bed was so comfortable and everything in the room worked! The pool/jacuzzi area was very clean and clutter free and...
I have a love of boutique hotels and the Fulton Steamship Inn fits the bill. We did not have the opportunity to eat at the hotel but the bar did have a nice variety of late night food. The adult only pool time was a pleasant option, too.
The king size bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds...
How wheelchair friendly is the Fulton Steamboat Inn?
Are there any elevators?
Can you explain the helicopter transfer and costs? Thank you.
